apicasso 0 Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I've been tearing my hair out trying to identify a piece of music from "Schindler's List" which, like many others, does not appear on the soundtrack. The piece is the viennese-soundling waltz which plays when Oskar dances with his wife while flirting with another girl on the dancefloor. Does anyone have any clue what this piece might be? I'd eat a bug to find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,333 Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 I don't remember this scene exactly.Perhaps you are referring to "Par Una Cabeza", a tango written by Carlos Gardel and also used in "Scent of a Woman" and "True Lies".----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apicasso 0 Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 Hi there. Thanks so much for trying to help me (I'm just going nuts with this, and appreciate any input!). But "Por una Cabeza" isn't the one, that's from the film's opening. This scene is about 30 minutes into the film, maybe a bit more, and is definitely a waltz, not a tango. It sounds like Strauss, but a rep from the Strauss Society of Vienna assures me that it isn't, it's something much more current, perhaps even post-war. I've found just about every other uncredited piece from the film, including "Love Will Forgive You," "Meinen Lippensie Kussen so Heir," "Tango Jalousie," "Bourree, from English Suite #2," "Gloomy Sunday," "Erika," "Mamatschi," "Gute Nacht Mutter," "Die Halzauktion," "La Capricieuse Opus 17," "Happy Wanderer," and "God Bless the Child," but this one remains elusive.

apicasso 0 Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 Actually, I'd sure be happy to post a mpeg I made (by pointing my digital camera at the TV screen and recording the short scene in which this waltz is played), but I'm new, and afraid of breaking the rules. Can I do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,333 Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Then it should be up there in the end credits list.If not, good luck with your quest. ----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apicasso 0 Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 No, definitely not in the film's credits (or anywhere on the internet that I've been able to find). But, again, I sure thank you Alex. I've been hunting this so vigorously, for so long, that it's a relief to get any input. I never dreamed it would be so difficult.Again, thank you. I'm sure not ungrateful for your help!

MrScratch 294 Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Here is what imdb.com lists in its "Soundtrack Listing" (http://us.imdb.com/Soundtracks?0108052). The Elgar piece (third one down) sounds like it might be a winner... Hope this helps..."MAMATSCHI (MOMMY, BUY ME A PONY)"Written by Oskar Schima and F.X.

apicasso 0 Posted May 12, 2003 Author Share Posted May 12, 2003 Thank you so much for responding, I'm grateful for your efforts! But, unfortunately, no...the Elgar piece was used in the scene where Schindler was interviewing potential secretaries (I can't believe how much useless information I've picked up in the quest to find this song). In any case, again, thank you, I appreciate any help I can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonblueeyes 0 Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I know what you're talking about. It's blends so seemlessly with the action on screen as it cuts from the Dance - the bedroom - the train station. Marvelous!!! I'd love to know as well. And While we're on the subject i'm dying to know - what is the name of that German song that's heard at the Film's beginning inside the club with the dancing girls. The song that's heard while the girls are in close-up and the shot is between the girls dancing legs. (A very Felliniesque Shot!)I'd love to know.

mstrox 6,651 Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I haven't seen Schindler's in a long, long time. I don't have a copy either. Could it possibly be a bit of source John Williams composed for the scene? That could explain why it's not listed in the credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apicasso 0 Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 Jason, that song with the dancing girls is called "Die Halzauktion," performed by Rudi Scherfling (BMG Ariola label). I can't identify the piece I'm hunting, but I sure have identified every other one! Mike, it could possibly be a Williams piece, although I don't think so. At this point, I'd believe just about anything. I'm starting to think that I'll never find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorX 0 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 the waltz you said is played in this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTFPMpY0W5w. you can search it like: “ in einem kleinen café in hernals Piano” , greetings from Mexico and thanks for the name of this waltz you can hear the same melody between 2:00 and 3:00 in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLq3ixjsWJI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
